Two men were shot, one fatally, in a drive-by shooting Sunday night near Truman College in the Uptown neighborhood, police said.

Killed was Brian Gill, 23, of the 4400 block of North Racine Ave. The shooting happened just after 8:30 p.m. in the 1100 block of West Sunnyside Avenue, where a gunman inside a passing vehicle opened fire on a group of people, police said.

Gill and a 21-year-old man were the only ones hit. Police didn't say how many people were in the group.

Police initially used the intersection of Montrose and Racine avenues -- just across the street from Graceland Cemetery -- as the crime scene address.

Gill was shot in the head and later pronounced dead, police said. The second victim suffered a gunshot wound to the arm and one of his ribs and was taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital in serious condition, police said. But his condition was upgraded to good this morning.

Police hadn't made any arrests in the shooting. Belmont Area detectives were investigating.
